Robert asked:

<snip>I just ordered a new 50mm f2.8 Elmar-M for my M3 - I heard of someone
who owns one and said he couldn't collapse it, since it hit the
rangefinder's wheel.  Is there anyone who has experienced this problem? 
<snip>

I have an M6 and use a new 50/2.8 Elmar lens with it.  The lens collapses
but the rear metl edge of the lens tube touches the rangefinder wheel in
the process.  It has never been a problem but makes a distinctive clicking
sound when you collapse the lens.  It doesn't do this on my M3 when collapsed.
